Dembele was the first to get onto the scoresheet for the Catalan giants when Sundowns defender Soumahoro Bangaly’s error at the back gave Dembele the opportunity to power past Dennis Onyango inside the first five minutes.

Uruguayan striker Suarez then doubled Barcelona’s lead to give them a comfortable 2-0 lead.

Percy Tau had a glorious opportunity to find the back of the net when he was one-on-one with keeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, but the German pulled off a comfortable save.

Lionel Messi is yet to come on the field, after being excluded from the starting 11.
